Description

A Better Way to Make Sense of Energy

Most energy advice starts at the wrong end - with a new plan, a new appliance or a list of generic tips.

Energy Bill Rescue starts with evidence.

Across five practical sections, Maurice takes you from the basics of how household energy is measured through to reading distributor data, testing appliances, pulling bills apart and turning everything you discover into a sensible plan of action.

You can follow along using your own bills and data, with real Australian examples showing how very different households can arrive at very different answers.

This is not a list of energy-saving tips or a once-off plan comparison. It is a method you can use again whenever your household changes, prices rise or another baffling energy offer lands in your inbox.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Energy Bill Rescue FAQs

Who is this course for?

Energy Bill Rescue is for Australian households that want to understand their energy bills, investigate high consumption and stop guessing whether they are on the right plan.

Do I need any energy knowledge?

No. Maurice starts with the basics and explains the technical bits in plain English.

Does it cover both electricity and gas?

Yes. It covers Australian electricity and gas bills, including supply and usage charges, tariffs, controlled loads, demand charges, discounts and solar credits.

Do I need a smart meter?

No. You can learn plenty from your bills and existing metre. If you have a smart metre, the course will show you how to use the extra consumption data available through your distributor.

Do I need a Power Mate?

No. A Power Mate can help investigate individual appliances, but it is not essential for completing the course.

Will you tell me which energy retailer to choose?

No - and that is deliberate. One retailer or plan will not suit every household, and today’s best deal may not remain the best deal. The course teaches you how to compare plans using your own consumption.

Can I use the course if I have solar?

Yes. The course explains solar credits and helps you look at when you import electricity, when you export it and how your household uses the solar energy it produces.

Is it useful for renters?

Yes. Renters may have less control over major appliances or building improvements, but they can still investigate consumption, change how and when energy is used, and compare plans.

Will the course reduce my energy bills?

It may uncover opportunities to reduce consumption or move to a better deal, but savings will vary. The course gives you the evidence to make better decisions; it cannot guarantee a particular dollar saving.

How is the course delivered?

Energy Bill Rescue is a self-paced online course with video lessons, practical demonstrations, Australian case studies and a downloadable workbook.
